When Li Changpu had cleaned the house so thoroughly that flies would have to do splits if they stood on it, but he still didn't stop, Jiang Tingxia reached out and took the rag from his hand.

"Okay."

"I know you're feeling uncomfortable. Don't keep it in your heart. Why don't you talk to me?"

Li Changpu took a deep breath and said, "Tingxia, there are some things I don't know how to tell you."

Jiang Tingxia understood, "You want to talk about your elder sister."

Li Changpu nodded. "You heard what we said just now. My elder sister said that I am far away and can't take care of her affairs. I think..."

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia blinking at him with her big eyes, and it was really hard for him to speak. After a long while, he said, "I want to bring my elder sister to live with us for a while."

"I'll find her a job in the city so she can raise her child, or find her an honest man. It's better than being exploited by my father in this village."

Jiang Tingxia was a little hesitant when she heard this. "I know you want to help your sister. We can give her some money and tickets. Do you have to move in with us?"

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia. Even though he was extremely anxious and worried about his elder sister's affairs, he did not think that there was anything wrong with Jiang Tingxia because of Jiang Tingxia's refusal. He knew that if he proposed such a difficult thing, Jiang Tingxia would definitely be unwilling and upset.

"Giving her that now won't solve her problem."

"In fact, I know what my sister is worried about. This has always been the case in the village. There are many people and many gossips, and they are very harsh on widows who live alone. Her husband's family and her own family are unreliable. It is really hard for her to live with her children, so she wants to remarry and find a man to protect her and her children."

Jiang Tingxia was still a little embarrassed. She felt uncomfortable living with a stranger and seeing him/her every day. Moreover, that person was Li Changpu's eldest sister. She could be polite to her relatives when they met occasionally after a long time. But if they lived together every day and a conflict occurred, what should she do? It would be embarrassing.

However, Jiang Tingxia couldn't say no to Li Changpu. The home belonged to both of them, and he also had the right to support his elder sister.

In addition, Jiang Tingxia also saw how worried Li Changpu was about his eldest sister's affairs.

"Half a year."

Jiang Tingxia said, "I can accept your eldest sister living in our house for no more than half a year. During this time, you will be responsible for finding her a job or someone to marry."

"It takes too long. I don't agree."

"Okay, half a year."

Li Changpu thought that it would not be easy to convince Jiang Tingxia, and there was a possibility that Jiang Tingxia would not agree at all. But who knew that she actually agreed.

Li Changpu's brows relaxed, "Thank you, Tingxia."

"I promise that I will take care of my eldest sister's affairs within half a year."

……

A few days later, the person Li Wangtian mentioned to introduce to Li Dahahua came to the door. Jiang Tingxia saw it and guessed that Li Changpu's efforts to persuade his elder sister had completely failed.

Li Dahua did not agree with Li Changpu's suggestion of letting her live in his house.

That was the only solution she had before. She had to take care of the patient and had no extra time and energy to take care of the three children. She could only leave the three children at her brother's house. Li Dahua already felt that she was not doing a good enough job as the eldest sister.

Her younger brother got married to a new wife, and as the eldest sister, she not only could not help, but she had never even met the wife, yet she caused so much trouble for the family.

Fortunately, her brother's sister-in-law is a good person. She always smiles gently when she sees her, doesn't say anything to her, and is nice to the three children. Li Dahua is already very grateful. Logically, even if her brother's sister-in-law pointed at her and scolded her, she wouldn't be able to say anything to defend herself. How could she have the audacity to go to her brother's house with her whole family, eat and drink with her brother's family, and drag them down?

There is no such thing in the world. If a widowed sister moves into her younger brother's house with her children, she would be a shameless person.

Li Changpu was sitting in the main room with a threatening look on his face. Jiang Tingxia glanced at the man and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, obviously much older than Li Changpu's elder sister. He was also old and ugly. He only had one eye open and was disabled. He was a one-eyed man. He smiled obscenely at Li Dahua.

Jiang Tingxia felt sick in her heart. She couldn't stand seeing such ugly things.

At this moment, Jiang Tingxia's contempt for Li Wangtian was even greater. No wonder Li Changpu didn't even want to mention him as a father. He was such a jerk. Which father would push his daughter into the fire like this?

Li Wangtian led them outside the courtyard and stood aside, smiling so hard that his face almost broke. "How about you guys look at my daughter over here?"

The matchmaker whispered a few words to the man, then turned to Li Wangtian and said, "They are very satisfied with your daughter. The marriage has been arranged in advance. Your daughter's husband just died. You can wait for a month or two and she will be married."

Li Wangtian smiled and nodded, "That's good, that's good."

He rubbed his fingers together and pretended to count money. "Then what we agreed on before..."

When the man heard this, he said it was no problem and took out money from his clothes.

Li Changpu watched from inside the room, then looked at her elder sister, "Sister, you said you don't agree!"

"As long as you say you don't want to, I'll kick them out."

Li Changpu has talked to his sister several times in recent days, but his sister is determined to listen to his father. Even when he asked his sister to live in his house and he would take care of her, the sister still refused to agree. Today she even asked the matchmaker to bring the man for a simple meeting.

When Li Changpu saw the man, he thought that his conditions were really poor. Li Wangtian was only after money and would agree to whoever offered the highest price. What good man could he be? Li Changpu thought that his elder sister Li Dahua would not be willing now. As long as she said she didn't want to, no one could make the decision for her.

Li Dahua closed her eyes, as if accepting her tragic fate, "Don't worry about it."

Outside the door, Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia in the house saw the man take out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. Li Wangtian took it, spat on his hands, and began to count the money with a smile on his face.

Li Changpu stood up anxiously, but he couldn't make the decision for his sister, so he looked at Li Dahua anxiously, "Sister, just say you don't agree!"

Once Li Wangtian receives the money, he will no longer be in the right if he wants to overturn the arranged marriage.

At this extremely anxious moment, Jiang Tingxia suddenly retched uncomfortably.

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia and walked towards him, "Tingxia, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Tingxia covered her mouth and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I feel a little sick."

"Want to vomit."

Li Dahua's originally lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, "Ting Xia!"

She looked at Jiang Tingxia's belly and said, "You are not pregnant, are you?"

Li Changpu was stunned and looked at Jiang Tingxia's belly.

Got it?

Jiang Tingxia smiled and said, "There have been so many things going on recently. I don't know how to tell you that I'm pregnant."

Li Changpu seemed to be stunned by the news and stood aside in a daze.

Li Dahua walked up to Jiang Tingxia, with a look of surprise and joy on her face, "Silly child, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing before?"

"You're pregnant, that's good news! It's a huge blessing for our family!"
